Queen Latifah Is Playing Ursula in ABC’s Live Version of ‘The Little Mermaid’

ABC has announced plans for a live musical version of The Little Mermaid, set to air November 5 with Auli’l Cravalho (Moana) as Ariel, Queen Latifah as Ursula the sea witch, and Shaggy as Sebastian the crab.

Say what! Now before you get any ideas, keep in mind this production is entirely separate from the live-action remake due in theaters with Halle Bailey as Ariel, and possibly Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

ABC had previously announced plans for the TV project in May 2017, but canceled it that August due to budget costs. But now it’s back!

We can’t wait!
